Readytosky DF13 4-Pin Flight Controller Cable (20cm) – Precision Data Connectivity

Streamline your drone’s internal wiring with the Readytosky DF13 4-Pin Cable. Specifically engineered for high-reliability data transmission, this cable is the industry standard for connecting critical peripherals to APM and Pixhawk flight controllers. Whether you are wiring up a GPS module, an external compass, or a telemetry radio, the Hirose-style DF13 connector ensures a vibration-resistant, "locked-in" connection that won't vibrate loose during aggressive maneuvers.

At 20cm in length, this cable provides the perfect amount of reach for standard F450 or 250mm frames without creating unnecessary "spaghetti" wiring that can interfere with your flight controller's IMU or compass.

Key Highlights:

• Genuine Hirose DF13 Series Interface: Features the low-profile, high-density connector used by professional-grade flight controllers for dependable sensor communication.

• Flexible 20cm Length: Offers enough slack for clean routing around frame plates while remaining short enough to minimize signal interference.

• 4-Pin Data Configuration: Perfectly mapped for I2C (Compass) or Serial (Telemetry/GPS) data protocols commonly found in ArduPilot and PX4 ecosystems.

• Vibration Resistant: Designed to maintain a secure electrical contact even in the high-frequency vibration environment of a multirotor.

• Universal APM/Pixhawk Compatibility: A direct "plug-and-play" replacement or expansion cable for APM 2.6, 2.8, and early Pixhawk hardware.

Installation Pro-Tip:

DF13 connectors are designed for a very tight fit. When disconnecting, always use a small pair of tweezers or a fingernail to grip the plastic housing itself rather than pulling on the silicone wires to prevent pin damage.

Readytosky DF13 6-Pin Flight Controller Cable (20cm) – Mission-Critical Data Link

Ensure flawless communication between your flight controller and high-bandwidth peripherals with the Readytosky DF13 6-Pin Cable. This 20cm data lead is a staple for professional-grade DIY drone builds, specifically designed to meet the high-density connection standards of the APM 2.6/2.8 and Pixhawk ecosystems.

Featuring the industry-standard Hirose DF13 series interface, this cable provides a secure, vibration-resistant latching mechanism. It is most commonly used for high-priority connections like GPS with integrated compass units, Telemetry radios, and Power Modules, where losing a single pin connection could mean the difference between a successful RTH (Return to Home) and a flyaway.

Key Highlights:

• Genuine Hirose-Style Interface: Utilizes the low-profile, 1.25mm pitch DF13 connector favored by ArduPilot and PX4 hardware for its reliability in high-vibration environments.

• 6-Pin Multi-Channel Support: The 6-wire configuration is perfectly mapped for combined GPS/Compass modules or full-feature Telemetry kits that require RX/TX, Power, Ground, and I2C lines.

• Perfectly Proportioned: At 20cm (200mm), this cable is long enough to reach from a centrally mounted flight controller to an elevated GPS mast on most 450mm to 650mm frames.

• High-Flex Silicone Wiring: The flexible internal wiring allows for tight routing through frame plates and around standoffs without putting undue stress on the flight controller's delicate vertical pins.

• Universal APM/Pixhawk Support: A direct "plug-and-play" replacement for the standard 6-pin cables included with original 3DR and Readytosky sensor kits.

Pro-Builder Tip:

The 6-pin DF13 is most commonly used for the Power Module port. Because this cable carries the voltage and current sensing data that your flight controller uses to trigger failsafes, always ensure the connector is fully seated and the wires are free from any tension or sharp bends.

Partsbaba Quality Assurance: We only supply 100% genuine Readytosky components. Every cable is backed by our 14-day replacement warranty against manufacturing defects, ensuring your drone's internal "nervous system" is reliable from the very first power-up.
